In an article for AS, Roncero commented that Real Madrid's four away matches in the Champions League could almost be considered part of a tourist package. Two in London, one in Rome, and one in Athens.

At first glance, this is a favorable draw. Mourinho 2.0's Real Madrid will face a league phase where the main appeal will be seeing how the popular Portuguese manager handles two of his former clubs, both of which he led to European titles. In 2010, he led Inter Milan against Guardiola's Barcelona in the Champions League semifinals. With ten men and Eto'o temporarily playing left back, the team eliminated Messi and company, avoiding the nightmare of a potential Champions League final at the Bernabéu. Mourinho then defeated Bayern and signed with Real Madrid. Years later, he managed Roma and was hailed as an "emperor" after leading them to a Conference League title.

The third highlight will be another encounter with Arteta's Arsenal. We've been wanting to play them for a long time. However, I must admit the most thrilling and emotionally charged match for me is Real Madrid against PSV Eindhoven at the Bernabéu. That Dutch team from the Philips camp prevented my "Real Madrid Five"—Hugo, Alexis, Buyo, and Gordillo—from winning the Champions League trophy they deserved.

Eindhoven was a conservative and hostile team, far from beautiful football. They didn't even win a single match in regular time from the quarterfinals onward, yet they still won the title that way. I just hope that in our home atmosphere, Real Madrid thrashes them mercilessly.

It's worth noting that these four away matches can almost be considered part of a tourist package. Two in London, one in Rome, and one in Athens. This will allow loyal Real Madrid fans to enjoy themselves, as they haven't had much joy since the heroic titles 14 and 15. And since we've already signed Diomandé, I'm not too worried about Leipzig. As for AEK Athens, friends, I don't know them...
